Lewisville police released photos today from the jewelry store robbery in hopes that someone will be able to identify the suspects. The photos were taken from the surveillance cameras in the store. Police say one of the suspects was wearing a distinctive dark shirt with large stars on the back.

Original posting on April 29:

Lewisville police are looking for two people who robbed a jewelry store in the Vista Ridge Mall around 1:45 p.m. today.

At least one of the robbers was carrying a handgun when they entered Gianni Jewelers and confronted an employee.

After stealing an undisclosed amount of jewelry, the robbers ran out of the mall and drove away in a red, four-door sedan that was missing the mirror on the passenger side of the vehicle.

While fleeing the scene of the crime, the robbers were involved in a hit-and-run collision on Round Grove Road.

Police said no shots were fired during the robbery.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Lewisville Police Department’s Tip Line at 972-219-TIPS (8477) or Denton County Crime Stoppers at 800-388-TIPS (8477).

Before you skip ahead to the next pressing item, please take a minute to take a last look at this little boy.

That’s Johnathan Ramsey — “JL” to his family — the boy who spent much of the summer of 2011 locked in filthy bedroom and slowly starving to death. His father, Aaron Ramsey, was convicted Tuesday and sentenced to life in prison for starving Johnathan, then dumping his body in a remote creek bed in Ellis County. Ramsey’s wife, Johnathan’s stepmother, still faces trial in the boy’s death.

I get a lot of mail from people who want me to be righteously angry about various issues: political gridlock, corruption, the D’s, the R’s, junk food, school prayer, bike paths, government regulation.

Here’s a little hot-coal nugget of fury for today: There are too few people in this city doing all the heavy lifting on cases such as Johnathan’s. A small circle of dedicated investigators, volunteers, doctors, and child welfare workers cope every day with real-life crimes against helpless children that would make most nice people throw up.

I don’t want you to throw up, but I want you to be mad. Please spare a moment’s anger for JL Ramsey.

A 36-year-old Carrollton woman jumped to her death Wednesday from the State Highway 121 and Interstate 35E interchange in Lewisville.

Lewisville police began getting calls around 12:30 p.m. from motorists reporting that a woman was standing near the guardrail on the State Highway 121 overpass leading toward the southbound I-35E.

A state trooper who overhead the police dispatch call was first to arrive on the scene. “As he approached and began talking to her, she took off running and jumped off the overpass,” said Capt. Kevin Deaver, of the Lewisville Police Department.

She fell approximately 70 feet to her death, landing on the shoulder of the roadway, he said.

The woman is not being identified pending notification of next of kin.

Traffic was tied up for about an hour when the southbound lanes in that section of the highway were closed.

While there have been a number of suicides at the LBJ Freeway-Central Expressway and Bush Turnpike-Central Expressway interchanges, Deaver said this is the first one that he could recall at that Lewisville location.

Stephan Antwain Pittman, who made headlines last year when he was accused of impersonating NFL quarterback Vince Young in an alleged fraud scheme, probably won’t be in the media spotlight for a while.

A Denton County district judge recently sentenced him to three years in prison for violating the terms of his probation for a 2009 sexual assault case in that county.

Pittman, 33, was thrust from obscurity into the media spotlight in September when he arrested in Washington, D. C. Authorities said he posed as Young in Maryland and the nation’s capital to scam people out of nearly $30,000.

The out-of-state arrest violated the terms of Pittman’s five-year probation and he was brought back to Denton County where he has been in jail since October.

He pleaded guilty on Jan. 13 to sexual assault and was sent directly to prison.

Both Young and his agent were pleased with the outcome of the case, according to Jamie Beck, First Assistant Denton County District Attorney.
